When a job has been stored using Quick File or File in document filing mode, or when a broadcast transmission has been performed in image send mode, the job appears as a key in the [Complete] screen. You can touch this key to show details on the completed job, and you can also touch the [Call] key that appears to reprint or resend the job.

(9) [Call] key

A job that appears in the completed jobs screen as a key can be touched followed by the [Call] key to reprint or resend the job. This is the same [Call] key that appears when the [Detail] key is touched.

TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF

The machine has two power switches. The main power switch is at the lower left after the front cover is opened. The other power switch is the [POWER] key ( ) on the operation panel at the top right.

Main power switch

When the main power switch is switched on, the main power indicator on the operation panel lights up.

Turning on the power

(1) Switch the main power switch to the "On" position.

(2) Press the [POWER] key ( ) to turn on the power.

Turning off the power

Main power indicator

[POWER] key

(1) Press the [POWER] key ( ) to turn off the power.

(2) Switch the main power switch to the "Off" position.

When using the fax or Internet fax functions

Always keep the main power switch in the "On" position.

Keep the main power switch in the "On" position and press the [POWER] key ( ) to turn off the power.

The power should be turned off in this way at night or at other times when the machine is not being used. The touch panel cannot be used, but the following functions will operate:

Fax functions:

Faxes can be received automatically, and timer transmission jobs and other previously reserved fax jobs can be transmitted. In addition, functions that send faxes at the request of other machines (remote transmission, relay transmission when a relay request is received) can also be used.

Internet fax functions:

Internet faxes can be received automatically, and timer transmission jobs and other previously reserved fax jobs can be transmitted.

• Before switching off the main power switch, make sure that the DATA indicator for printing and the DATA and LINE indicators for image transmission and fax transmission and reception are not lit or blinking. Switching off the main power switch or removing the power cord from the outlet while any of the indicators are lit or blinking may damage the hard drive and cause data to be lost.

• Switch off both the main power switch and the [POWER] key ( ) and unplug the power cord if you suspect a machine failure, if there is a bad thunderstorm nearby, or when you are moving the machine.

• If the main power is switched off more than approximately one minute after the power has been turned off by pressing the [POWER] key ( ) on the operation panel, the main power indicator on the operation panel will not turn off immediately. (The indicator will remain on for approximately another minute. This is normal and does not indicate a failure.)

ENERGY SAVE FUNCTIONS

This product has the following two energy save functions that conform to the Energy Star guidelines to help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat Mode

Preheat mode automatically lowers the temperature of the fuser unit and thereby reduces power consumption if the machine remains in the standby state for the interval of time set in "Preheat Mode" in the system settings (administrator). The machine automatically wakes up and returns to normal operation when a print job is received, a key is pressed on the operation panel, or an original is placed.

Auto power shut-off mode (Sleep mode)

Auto power shut-off mode automatically shuts off power to the display and the fusing unit if the machine remains in the standby state for the interval of time set in "Auto Power Shut-Off" in the system settings (administrator). This mode provides the lowest level of power consumption. Considerably more power is saved than in preheat mode, however, the wakeup time is longer. This mode can be disabled in the system settings (administrator). The machine automatically wakes up and resumes normal operation when a print job is received or when the blinking [POWER SAVE] key is pressed.

[POWER SAVE] KEY

Press the [POWER SAVE] key to put the machine in auto power shut-off mode or wake it up from auto power shut-off mode. The [POWER SAVE] key has an indicator that indicates whether or not the machine is in auto power shut-off mode.

When the [POWER SAVE] key indicator is off in the standby state

When the [POWER SAVE] key indicator light is blinking.

The machine is ready to be used. If the [POWER SAVE] key is pressed when the indicator is off, the indicator will blink and the machine will enter auto power shut-off mode after a brief interval.

The machine is in auto power shut-off mode. If the [POWER SAVE] key is pressed when the indicator is blinking, the indicator will turn off and the machine will return to the ready state after a brief interval.

LOGOUT

USER AUTHENTICATION

When the administrator of the machine has enabled user authentication, one of two screens shown below will appear. If either screen appears, enter the user number or login name and password that you received from the administrator.

Enter your user number.

Admin Login

When controlled by user number When controlled by login name and password

AUTHENTICATION BY USER NUMBER

The following procedure is used to log in using a user number received from the administrator of the machine.

Please enter your login name / password.

User Authentication

User Name

Password

Auth to:

(Different items will appear in the screen when LDAP authentication is used.)

Enter your user number.

Admin Login

Enter your user number (5 to 8 digits) with the numeric keys.

Each entered digit will be displayed as " ".

Touch the [OK] key.

After the entered user number is authenticated, the user count screen will appear briefly.

Usage status : used/remaining pages Black-white :87,654,321/12,345,678 Full colour :87,654,321/12,345,678 2-colour :87,654,321/12,345,678 Single colour :87,654,321/12,345,678

The number of pages remaining appears when page limits have been set in "Pages Limit Group Registration" in the system settings (administrator). (The remaining number of pages that the user can use in each mode (copy, scan, etc.) appears.) The amount of time that this screen appears can be changed using "Message Time Setting" in the system settings (administrator).

When the user number is an 8-digit number, this step is not necessary. (Login takes place automatically after the user number is entered.)

LOGOUT

When you have finished using the machine and are ready to log out, press the [LOGOUT] key ( ).

• Note that the [LOGOUT] key ( ) cannot be used to log out when a fax number is being entered in fax mode, as [LOGOUT] key ( ) input is treated as part of a fax number.

• If a preset duration of time elapses after the machine is last used, the Auto Clear function will activate. When Auto Clear activates, logout automatically takes place. However, when PC Scan mode is used, logout does not take place when the [LOGOUT] key ( ) is pressed and Auto Clear does not operate. Change to a different mode on the machine and then log out.

If an incorrect user number is entered 3 times in a row...

If "A Warning when Login Fails" is enabled in the system settings (administrator), the machine will lock for 5 minutes if an incorrect user number is entered 3 times in a row. Verify the user number that you should use with the administrator of the machine.

The administrator can clear the locked state. This is done from [User Control] and then [Default Settings] in the Web page menu.

AUTHENTICATION BY LOGIN NAME / PASSWORD

The following procedure is used to log in using a login name and password received from the administrator of the machine or the administrator of the LDAP server.

Please enter your login name / password.

• When an LDAP server has been stored, [Auth to:] can be changed.

• If you are logging in using a user selection key... If you are logging in using a user selection key, the LDAP server was stored when your user information was stored, and thus the LDAP server will appear in an authenticated server when you select your login name. Go to step 4.
